Default Just bought a 1998 C5!!!

Its a 98, black on black. 6 speed has 51,000 miles and is bone stock. paint and leather is perfect. I got it for 20,000 from a GM dealer and they gave me a full 1 Year, 12,000 mile warranty with it.

I don't know if the price is good or not (since I'm up here in Canada) but I will say you did good by getting a black on black 98, those are cool! Get yourself a California Car Duster though, you're gonna need it!

Not bad because of the warranty. I paid 18k but from private party. Mine had around 62k on the clock at the time. Your gonna love it and IMO black is the best color, when clean anyhow. Good luck and congrats.
